Chapter 218 - 218: Dotes On Him The Most (1/2)

On the second floor on the ballroom, stood a tall woman with porcelain white skin, donning an elegant, midnight blue dress that hugged her upper body. Its skirt flowing freely until it reaches the floor. Her silver hair cascade on her bare shoulders into simple curls.

Calculative and cold cerulean blue eyes glistened behind a veil of darkness, eyeing the crowd below her in mild interest.

Suddenly, something cold touched her bare skin. Giving the person behind her a side glance, Lillie accepted the cool flute of champagne.

Ethan held his wife in his arm and joined her in speculating. His eyes scanned the crowd before shifting them to his wife's bare shoulder.

A frown marred his charming face. ”Aren't you cold?” He asked. Both concerned for her health and for the eyes he needed to pluck as soon as she made her presence known to everyone.

Since she arrived before him, Ethan did not have the chance to see what dress his wife chose. Besides, the fur coat wasn't even properly worn to cover her shoulders.

Is this a fashion trend?

Lillie was not oblivious of the double meaning of his words. For the times they had spend together, Lillie began to figure some of Ethan's 'tendencies'.

And of course, as someone with a cunning mind, Lillie knew exactly what she needed to do to coax these 'tendencies'.

Lillie leaned in closer, her lips inched closer to his ear. ”Then make sure your arms are always wrapped around me,” She said breathlessly.

Something emerged from Ethan's chest.

”You're standing on a thin thread, Lillie...” He replied huskily. ”...we wouldn't want to be late at a time like this, hm?”

Not backing down, Lillie faced him. She put down the glass on the table and placed her hands teasingly on his chest, the suit he wore act as a wall between them. Nevertheless, the warmth they released was not detained by the layer of clothe.

”Who said we need to follow their time?”

A dangerous glint shone from his eyes. The corner of his lips lifted into a mischievous smirk.

”You are right...” Encircling his arms around her waist, Ethan lowered his head to the crook of her neck. ”Completely right...”

Her pristine skin flushed red after being exposed to his hot breath.

”Xiuling said she wouldn't arrive until every item was sold...” His deep voice whispered seductively behind her ear. ”We've got plenty of time.”

”Now, now, Mr. Li.” Lillie gently pushed him off her. ”Do you know how long it took me to get dressed?”

”I'll help you fix it later.”

”Well, I did not bring any make-up.”
